Light Mod - Compact Rechargeable Waterproof USB-C LED Light - Official GoPro Accessory

Product Information

A unique feature of this light is that it includes three color filters of white, orange, and purple to vary up your video footage. It also has a built-in battery you can charge with the included USB charging cable. Even though the current light is inadequate for a steady-on headlight at night, it is an excellent nighttime blinking safety light, and a marginal (but useful-acceptable) daytime safety light. Remember, a cold shoe means there’s no power transfer between the GoPro/Media Mod, and the Light mod (versus a hot-shoe would have connectivity of some element). In fact all components of the GoPro ‘Mod’ ecosystem are self-contained from a power standpoint, and somewhat disappointingly can’t share power. Meaning, if you walked out the door with the Media/Light/Screen mode, you’d have to charge three different units including the GoPro itself (GoPro, Display, Light…the Media Mod is powered by the GoPro). What we like: The stainless steel body makes this LED light ultra-durable. Being waterproof (up to 164’/50m), this light is an ideal choice for diving and it won’t rust even if used in deep sea. With 84 LEDs and wide angle light (5000lux), it brightens up the entire place. This product also features four lighting modes: high light, mid light, low light and SOS mode. The Go Pro Light’s blinking feature is excellent. I’m going to buy it partly because of that feature. I will use two of them for headband/hat mounted bicycle blinking safety lights for day and night use, as well as using them for still photography and video with my Olympus, Fuji, and Go Pro Session 5 cameras.

Max Lumens: The most essential factor of a GoPro light is how many lumens it offers. Lumens are a measurement of how much light a bulb emits. Therefore, it describes how bright your GoPro light is when you turn it on. Depending on your recording situations, you may need a light offering the most lumens possible. You want high res video footage: This action camera is specifically designed for 360 degree video so the resolution of standard video is not so good. The most obvious difference between the GoPro Hero 8 and GoPro Hero 9 is the addition of a front-facing LCD screen. So, somewhere between the 10 and the 8 (and therefore down here in our list) is this choice.

The only downside to this mount is that since it’s so inexpensive, the build quality isn’t as good as other options. However, unless you accidentally drop it or handle it carelessly, you shouldn’t have any issues. Yet as they filmed their everyday adventures, for many, something soon became clear: sometimes you need to add artificial light to a scene. So what are the best GoPro lighting rigs? The Light Mod: A small light that attached to the Media Mod accessory, but also has a standard GoPro mount too On the downside, I must remind you that this light isn’t waterproof. Therefore, you can’t bring it on your scuba diving or snorkeling trips. Furthermore, it can only be mounted in one position since it doesn’t feature angle adjustment capabilities.

Many people use action cameras to capture footage of their adventurous pursuits, such as mountain biking, skydiving or snowboarding. The best action cams are also waterproof, so some outdoor enthusiasts employ them to shoot watersports or record underwater video while swimming or diving. Most action cams come with a range of mounts, which make it easy to attach them to your helmet, handlebars or even a strap which wraps around your chest. So you should always be able to find an attachment that suits.The only downside to this mount is that the controls may take some time to get used to. This is because the buttons are relatively small and difficult to press if you have larger fingers. You must also cycle through all the options to get to your preferred setting. It’d be better if this light included a mobile app or external remote.
